Aston Martin's upcoming One-77 supercar is close to becoming the British marque�s fastest-ever motor, following successful high-speed testing held over the past few months. According to Aston, the One-77 has already clocked an astounding top speed of 220.007mph (in dry and windy conditions), which is a significant improvement on the 200mph top speed originally predicted for the company's new two-seater. This would go some way towards justifying the �1.2m price tag that has been placed on this 7.3-litre V12-powered supercar. While the Aston Martin speed record may be within sight � the Vanquish S V12 is purported to have a top speed of 200mph � the One-77 still has some way to go before it surpasses the McLaren F1's top speed of 242.9mph in order to become Britain�s fastest car. But with the One-77 not due out until mid-2010, there is still plenty of time for the Warwickshire-based marque to fine-tune the engine, enhance the aerodynamics and cut some weight in order to move closer to that mark. Testing will continue into the New Year, so we'll keep you up to date with any further developments. To celebrate this great news, Aston has released some more action pictures of its new supercar. Check out the Aston Martin One-77 in the gallery below.
